Throwing in the towel/New Beginning
Posted By: Anson
As of today, I have abandoned the E101 set altogether. A large part of my set will be heading on Ebay (I'm keeping my favorites). I have several reasons for doing so, but mainly because my interests have shifted. I plan on collecting individual players and may even look to writing a book about one specifically. |

Is that the set with the three butt shots? Schmidt, Gibson and Chance? |

Gil, that's the one. Tons of character and wonderful colors. I'm keeping some of the more interesting cards, including many HOFers. But, I'm focusing on collecting and researching a specific player which will take a lot of time and money. I hope to write a biography at some point. |

So, can you tell us which player you will be concentrating on? |

Say it ain't so, Anson. The E101s are underappreciated and I really thought you were ahead of your time. |

I agree with the pro-101 agenda. |

I'm still keeping the Matty, Young, Cobb, Lajoie, and a few favorite commons. I still enjoy the set and may pick up some singles in the future. |

wonder what you did to them to make you feel they want to out pocket you on cards? Can't imagine you ever doing anything wrong. I know for me, I have over 10,000 cards in holders now,outbid people all the time. Tbob will tell you that,however I personally bid to win and build sets.It takes patience and a testimony of such to complete a set.I too have almost the entire E-101 set complete but had to wqork on it for over 15 years.Maybe you should have dealt rather than ran and let time afford the cards you were looking for. |

Brian, it was only a small reason for my direction. I do have limited time and funds and really want to pursue my new focus. But I agree, to put a set like the E101s together, it requires patience and persistence. |
